We always have a great experience with Melanie!! She is our go to everytime we go out of town and we can’t recommend her enough!!!!
Melanie and her family took great care of our hoagie! She was very communicative and easy to coordinate with, and she was comfortable administering meds for our girl. Thank you, Melanie!
Melanie took great care of our dog, Lyla. She sent lots of photo updates. And she was very flexible when our flight was delayed.
Melanie and her family took such great care of Katie, my three-legged senior pup, that I was worried she would not want to come home. Good communication, with plenty of pics so we could see how much fun she was having. Will definitely check to see if Melanie is available next time I'm going out of town.
As always, Melanie is so great with our lab, Lexi! We have been a repeat client of hers for several trips and always have a great experience!! She is fantastic about sending updates and making sure our girl has a ton of fun! Thanks Melanie!!!
Our pups had a great time with Melanie and her family. Melanie kept us in the loop with lots of pictures, and expertly handled our two dogs who have very different personalities and needs.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dogs’s safety and care is my utmost concern! I’ll make sure your pup is well exercised, played with, and fed. I’m comfortable giving medicine orally.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I will walk your dog throughout Indian Springs neighborhood in Silver Spring. It is residential and perfect for dog walks. When the weather is nicer I will walk the dogs in Sligo park. Your dog's sleeping arrangement In a crate or on the floor in their bed at the foot of our bed. Time I'll spend with your dog I will spend the whole day with the dog except for quick errands to the grocery, occasional meetings and to the library.
